I am taking my first steps with Ivy and I need to point my shared repository to
an existing Maven 2 repository in the filesystem.
This is what I have done so far:
1.- Copied ivy2.jar to lib directory of my Ant v1.8 installation
2.- Created the following directory %ANT_HOME%\lib\org\apache\ivy\core\settings
3.- Under that directory I copied ivysettings.xml that I found in ivy2.jar and
changed its contents to be:
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="default"/>
<include url="${ivy.default.settings.dir}/ivysettings-public.xml"/>
<include
file="C:/Java/apache-ant-1.8.0RC1/lib/org/apache/ivy/core/settings/ivysettings-shared.xml"/>
<include url="${ivy.default.settings.dir}/ivysettings-local.xml"/>
<include url="${ivy.default.settings.dir}/ivysettings-main-chain.xml"/>
<include url="${ivy.default.settings.dir}/ivysettings-default-chain.xml"/>
</ivysettings>
Where ANT_HOME=C:/Java/apache-ant-1.8.0RC1
4.- I created file
C:/Java/apache-ant-1.8.0RC1/lib/org/apache/ivy/core/settings/ivysettings-shared.xml
5.- Before running ANT, I set CLASSPATH to be C:\Java\apache-ant-1.8.0RC1\lib
The result is almost right in the sense that ivy finds my 'overridden'
ivysettings.xml but it then fails to find ivysettings-public.xml. I expected
it to search the complete CLASSPATH trying to find that file (just as ANT
itself is correctly finding all the classes it needs)
This is the output I am getting on the sample app:
Buildfile: C:\temp\ivy\example\hello-ivy\build.xml
resolve:
[ivy:retrieve] :: Ivy 2.1.0 - 20090925235825 :: http://ant.apache.org/ivy/ ::

Given the above, how to I tell Ivy to keep looking in the classpath? After
all, ivysettings-public.xml can be found in ivy2.jar
Thanks
